Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
This class is a multi-part exploration into the birth and development of America with focus on geography, economy, government, foreign affairs and the people who helped to shape the new nation. Throughout the course, an emphasis is placed on the development of social studies skills, critical thinking skills, geography skills and the multicultural nature of American society. 


We will study the following topics over the course of 5 weeks:

Week 1: Expansion and Nationalism
Week 2: Westward Expansion 
Week 3: The Civil War          	
Week 4: Reconstruction
Week 5: The Industrial Revolution    
	

Students will demonstrate their learning through participation in the weekly classroom activities (no live meetings).

*Each lesson will be delivered via a prerecorded video that will be uploaded into the classroom every week. Each week, students will view the video and follow-up with the suggested activity included with each video link.  The instructor will be available to help and will provide individual feedback throughout the course.			
		

By the end of the 5 weeks, students will:
 
Demonstrate and strengthen abilities to present historical information.
Strengthen note-taking skills.
Compare/contrast/synthesize and analyze information.
Exercise critical thinking and communication skills in formal and informal discussions.
		
                                                    
Students are encouraged to follow-up with the next class, which will examine:
